Double-decker phthalocyanine complexes with Tb3+ or Dy3+ showed slow magnetization relaxation as a single-molecular property. The temperature ranges in which the behavior was observed were far higher than that of the transition-metal-cluster single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The significant temperature rise results from a mechanism in the relaxation process different from that in the transition-metal-cluster SMMs. The effective energy barrier for reversal of the magnetic moment is determined by the ligand field around a lanthanide ion, which gives the lowest degenerate substate a large |Jz| value and large energy separations from the rest of the substates in the ground-state multiplets.

The redox state of the phthalocyanine in sandwich lanthanide complexes is crucial for their applications. In this work, we demonstrate that the cation-induced supramolecular assembly of crown-substituted phthalocyanine lanthanide complexes Ln[(15C5)Pc] can be used to control the redox state of the ligand simultaneously with the coordination sphere of the central metal. We achieve unprecedented redox switching of phthalocyanine ligands in a double-decker Gd(III) complex, resulting from the intramolecular inclusion of potassium cations between the decks with simultaneous twisting of the ligands (the skew angle between them decreases from 44.

Lanthanide peroxides show high reactivity in oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). However, the number of isolated and structurally characterized molecular species remains relatively small. To the best of our knowledge, homochiral molecule-based lanthanide peroxides have not been reported.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper investigates how lanthanide double-decker phthalocyanines (LnPc) interact with different models of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), specifically examining structural and electronic changes upon adsorption.
  • Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the height of the LnPc complexes when attached to the nanotubes varies significantly based on the type of nanotube (armchair vs. zigzag) and the specific lanthanide used (La, Gd, or Lu).
  • Results also show that the energy gap (HOMO-LUMO gap) is influenced by both the nature of the lanthanide and the chirality of the nanotube, with distinct behaviors observed in spin density distribution during

Controlled self-assembly and rapid disintegration of supramolecular nanowires is potentially useful for ecology-friendly organic electronics. Herein, a novel method exploiting the binding between crown-substituted double-decker lanthanide phthalocyaninates (ML, M = Lu, Ce, Tb) and K ions is applied for the one-step fabrication of macroscopically long conductive one-dimensional quasi-metal-organic frameworks. Their properties are controlled by the size of the lanthanide ion guiding the assembly through either intra- or intermolecular interactions.

3d/4f Sandwich Complex Based on Metallacrowns.

Inorg Chem

September 2021

Department of Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Duesbergweg 10-14, Mainz D-55128, Germany.

A novel lanthanide double-decker complex with nickel metallacrowns (MCs) as coordinating ligands has been synthesized. In the 3d/4f metallacrown complex Tb[12-MC-4], the central lanthanide ion is sandwiched between two [12-MC-4] units, forming an almost ideal square-antiprismatic coordination sphere. The resulting zenithal angles at the central lanthanide ion are smaller than those for previously reported sandwich compounds.
